Poynter: Women journalists – worldwide and here at home – face outsized online attacks. “Women journalists face online attacks at a higher rate compared to their male counterparts. In 2020, almost three quarters (73%) of 901 women journalists, surveyed globally for UNESCO, had experienced online violence, characterized as threats, harassment and abuse. These attacks include racism, […]

Mashable: New report: X remains the most dangerous platform for LGBTQ users. “GLAAD assessed external-facing policies on diversity programs, content moderation, user suppression, and enforcement mechanisms, among other metrics, for six major companies: Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, and TikTok. X scored just 29 points out of a possible 100. No platform has ever scored above a 67.”

Smart Phone Bans in schools failed to positively impact academic outcomes based on research published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Strict phone bans resulted in a meaningful decline in student cellphone us - duh! But test scores have not increased on average, and at first, banning phones led to higher suspension rates.
The research included more than 40,000 schools between 2019 and 2026. Over time, students in schools with strict bans reported a greater sense of personal well-being, however, the bans did not improve student attendance or perceptions of online bullying. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/us/did-school-cellphone-bans-study.html #SmartPhones #PhoneBans #Mobility #Students #Academics #CellPhone #Disicpline #Suspensions #OnlineBullying #SocialMedia

‘Add blood, forced smile’: how Grok’s nudification tool went viral.
The ‘put her in a bikini’ trend rapidly evolved into hundreds of thousands of requests to strip clothes from photos of women, horrifying those targeted.

[Edited for typos : EFF]
The EFF is, thankfully, taking umbrage at Australia’s #AgeVerification legislation which came into force yesterday, and rightly so. However, with statements such as:
“If legislators want to meaningfully improve online safety, they should pass a strong, comprehensive federal privacy law instead of building new systems of surveillance, censorship, and exclusion.“

It’s missing the mark, not really providing a solution to the targeted problem, and may just cloud the issue (confusing parents/guardians mainly) while giving our polies a free pass. That’s just my opinion of course. But if you really wanted to tackle on-line bullying and curtail the hate, the racism, the disinformation, misinformation, and general toxicity that is prevalent on #TechBros platforms, you’d need to do more than just reform and strengthen #PrivacyLaws. Digital media is just like radio/TV/paper media with more functionality and reach which are #regulated worldwide (more or less depending on country of publication/broadcast). Hence, to hit the mark, this new govt legislation ought to have been a set of #Regulations imposed on digital media (of every kind) with penalties for failure to comply to have any meaningful benefits to society and its younger people.
Of course, more regulations is not what the EFF stands for, so no surprises there. Saying that, I do believe that the EFF does important work and is to be commended for that.
There are alternatives to BigTech platforms which are #safer more #inclusive already deployed on the #internet. And if our govt was truly looking after the health of our kids, then govt departments who have the #DutyOfCare to keep our kids safe could #Fund #instances of #Mastodon on the #Fediverse for #kids run by kids with oversight by health professionals as #Moderators — a glaringly obvious solution that no one is talking about (outside the fediverse that is).

Reuters: FIFA says it has stepped up efforts against online abuse. “Marking the International Day for Tolerance, FIFA said its Social Media Protection Service (SMPS) had flagged more than 30,000 abusive posts to platforms since the start of the year, part of more than 65,000 escalated since the tool was launched in 2022.”

I refuse to support projects that enable bullying and harassment online. It's crucial to hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their status. Together, we can create a safer digital environment for everyone.

Remember the "Star Wars Kid" viral video in 2003? (Pretty much the first ever viral video of this magnitude.)
Do you know it was a shared video of a 14-yr-old boy , Ghyslain Raza, from Trois-Rivieres, Quebec..and it was not consensual, and never meant to be shared? Things got so rough for him, he had to change schools.
He breaks his silence after 26 years (at the time this documentary was made).
This is such an important documentary.

From the article: "Unlike the mythological creatures of early Scandinavian folklore, online trolls are real, and dealing with them is never a fun experience.
"An internet troll, as defined by Wikipedia, is:
“…a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others’ perception.”

A frequent detractor lurks but post anyway.
It is sad though grown people have to second guess themselves because of other grown people.
Online bullying marauds in many forms. Especially beware experts and elites.
PS: If you come back with "more self-confidence", you're missing the point. An online bully is different in that they do not care about others confidence.

Today's tiktok/YouTube/Instagram short video:
If you like a #contentCreator 's work, TELL THEM. Don't leave the bulk of their comments composed by #haters and harassers tearing them down.

Caption:
Trust me, I know it's scary to "put a target on your back" by wading into video or picture comments currently dominated by #haters leaving garbage, but I assure you it feels even worse on the #contentCreator end when we're the ones having to deal with 95% garbage trying to tear us down. Especially for #smallCreators like me who don't get paid anything for the work we do making content for others to enjoy for free, so literally the only reason we do any of this is the love of making content and hoping to reach just a few people who like what we do, or care about the same issues that we're advocating for 🙃

Witnessed some horrid bullying/trolling on a client’s online VR game this evening. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
Imagine telling 7/8 year olds they are losers and they should kill themselves.
Parents and guardians please make sure your children know how to deal with such things.
Here is a good start: https://www.esafety.gov.au/young-people
"Murthy’s report said #socialmedia can help #children & #adolescents find a community to connect but that it also contains “extreme, inappropriate & #harmful content,” which can “normalize” #selfharm & #suicide. It can perpetuate body dissatisfaction, eating disorders & #depression & expose children to #onlinebullying while they are undergoing a critical stage in #braindevelopment ..
